First impressions are usually the best.

FREE LIFE INSURANCE, 

Many people are prevented from buying property because 
they do not wish to incur debts that would in any way em- 
barass their families should they die. 

"Should I buy a lot in Prohibition Park (Westerleigh ) 
and die before it is paid for, will my family have to continue 
the payments or lose all that has been paid?" is a question fre- 
quently asked. If it were not for this fear, thousands of peo- 
ple would own homes to-day who do not. We have, however, 
been able, by certain arrangements, to surmount the difficulty, 
and can for a limited time pledge that if any one between the 
ages of 21 and 50 years, who buys a lot under this ofifer, should 




BOULEVARD, PROHIBITION PARK ( WESTERLEIGH ) . 

die after he or she has made six regular monthly payments, we 
will give to his or her heirs a deed for the lot or lots free from 
all incumbrance without the payment of an additional dollar, 
provided the purchaser is not more than 30 days in arrears at 
the time of his or her death. 

Remember, this offer for life insurance is made only to 
those who buy at tnis special offer. 



DO YOU WISH TO MAKE MONEY? AN IN- 
VESTMENT IN A LOT IN PROHIBITION

LY MAKE YOU MONEY. ^ 



NO INTEREST. 

W'c offer to sell these 140 lots (offer is subject to with- 
drawal without notice) on small monthly payments, and will 
charge no interest on deferred payments. Many people refrain 
from buying- propertj' becatise they feel that the interest 
charges will prove burdensome. To overcome this barrier 
w'e have decided to waive the interest feature for this offer, 
and thus give those who object to paying interest an oppor- 
tunity to purchase a lot on their own terms and thus become 
identified with this great enterprise. 

No more lots after this sale will be offered at reduced 
prices (prices will be advanced upward of 50 per cent.). 

Lots Avill l^e selected in the order remittances 
are made. Satisfaction guaranteed. See page 17.

PRESENT INDICATIONS. 



Our .:ountry has entered upon a period of substantial bus- 
iness expansion. Trade has grown in volume and in profit, 
both domestic and foreign, which is being reflected in enlarged 
investments and in increasing speculative activity. 

Times have not been better for many years than they are 
at present : good crops in most parts of the country ; good 
prices for farm products, etc. ; t\ii abundance of 
nionev (never as much) waiting investments; confidence be- 
coming more and more firmly established each day ; factories 



PROHIBITION PARK WESTERLEIGH) IS THE 

MOST BEAUTIFUL RESIDENCE PART 

OF NEW YORK CITY. 



increasing their output; and more people (especially a'rong 
the wage-earners) making efforts to secure their own homes 
than at any previous time in the history of our country. 



GREAT ACTIVITY. 

The activity has never been greater in real estate on 
Staten Island than since consolidation with New York 
City. Many new residences, factories, public buildings, busi- 
ness and office blocks are being built in this part of the cit\. 
More property has changed hands, more buildings erected, 
and more improvements made during the last two years on 
Staten Island than in ten years previous. The Borough of 
Richmond (Staten Island), New York City, is bound 
to have a geat future, and tho^e who invest now will 
make no mistake. People of large means are in\-est- 
ing heavily in Staten Island property, since it is 
a part of New York City, and the improvements that 
are being made are of such permanent character that 
the property in this part of the city cannot help 
but increaj-e rapidly in value. Corporations, and indi- 
viduals, who own property in this borough of the 
City (Staten Island), are making wonderful improvements, 
in erecting residences, putting down sidewalks, planting 
shade trees, and in various ways beautifying their property. 
These extensive improvements that are being made sim- 
ply mean that people are awakening to the necessity 
of supplying the demands for homes that the growth of the 
city (140,000 annually) is creating. 

Prohibition Park is the prettiest and most desirable resi- 
dence part of the city. 



FABULOUS FORTUNES. 



Fabulous fortunes have been made in marvelously 
short periods of time in investments in real e -tate in 
New York City. In many places in New York City 
property has doubled in value many times over in one to five 
years' time. The opportunity to make money is as great now 
as it has ever been. The Astors have made their immense 
fortune by investments in real estate in New York City. A 
small investment will give you large returns in proportion to 
your investment. 



ARE YOU SAVING MONEY? WHY NOT BE- «^ 



S GIN NOW BY DEPOSITING S5 TO $10 A 

V MONTH IN A LOT. IN A FEW YEARS 

i\ THE INCREASE WILL BE LARGE. 



INVESTMENT BETTER THAN SAVING 
BANKS, AS SAFE AS GOVERN- 
MENT BONDS. 

Can you spare from $4 to $12 a month by a little economy? 
If so, you can make no better or safer investment than to buy 
a lot in Prohibition Park ( Westerleigh) at this special offer. 
It is safer and better than almost any other investment: be- 
cause it is backed by the greatest metropolis in the world — 
a city increasing in population more than 140,000 every year. 
Manhattan Island (old New York City) is crowded to its 
utmost. The overflow has gone north until it reaches 21, miles 
north of the City Hall and Post Office. 

At last the gates have been broken down that have isolated 
Staten Island so long from the older part of the city (old New 
"S'ork City). Kive-cent ferryboats at short inter- 
vals (upwards of 100 trips a day), and Rapid Treinsit 
a network of railroad-, have overcome all obstacles to Staten 
I-^land, which lies only a little more than five miles from the 
New York City Hall — only across the bay. 'Pliis 
beautifuil picturescjue spot will now^ rap- 
idly fill up. Real estate north of City Hall as far as Pro- 
hibition Park is south is selling at 5 to 10 times the prices asked 
for lots in this special offer. 

LOCATION. 

Prohibition Park (Westerleigh) is in the First Ward, Bor- 
ough of Richmond, New York City. It is on Staten Island, of 
which the Hon. George William Curtis, whose home was on 
Staten Island, said, 

"God might have made a prettier place than Staten Island, 
but He didn't." 

The Borough of Richmond is reachetl by a lovely sail 
of five miles across the Bay, and is destined to be the home- 
place of a large proportion of New York City's population. 
It is the most beautiful part of the City, with trolleys, rapid 
transit trains, etc. 

The Park i« reached by trolley direct 

from the Ferry landing ; fare, five cents. The trolley that goes 
to Midland Beach, wdiere the bathing is excellent, passes the 
Park. The Park has aii the advantages 

and conveniences, etc.. that one will find in any part 
of the city ; as sewers, city water, sidewalks, graded streets, 
electric lights, schools (Public School and Westerleigh Col- 
legiate Institute), church, etc.. etc. 



AFTER THIS SALE OF 140 LOTS, ALL UN- 
SOLD LOTS WILL BE ADVANCED IN 
PRICE UPWARD OF 50'o. 



HEALTH AND ENTERTAINMENTS. 

Statistics show that the Borough of Richmond, New York 
City, is the healthiest county in the State. Being surrounded 
by water, the climate is healthful, and the nights are generally 
cool in the summer. The city water, supplied from artesian 
wells, is the purest of all in or about New York City. 

Summer meetings and entertainments are held in the large 
Auditorium, from June to October of each year; such as Tem- 
perance Meetings, W. C T. U. Conferences, Loyal Temper- 
ance Legion Conventions, Christian Endeavor Mass Meetings, 
Missionary Meetings, Lectures, Musical Entertainments, Read- 
ings, etc. The programs for the entertainments, lectures, 
etc., are made up of the best talent available. 

Much can be said about the health, entertainments, schools, 
sociability, environments, etc.. that would be interesting and 
would show the advantages the Park has over other sub- 
urban places, but we must simply give a hint or a suggestion 
and let the mind of the reader draw the conclusions. We do 
not wish to give you too much to read, therefore, we cut each 
article short. 



A FEW OF THE MANY IMPROVEMENTS IN 
THE PARK, 



There are about 8 miles of graded streets ; pver five miles 
of sidewalks: $21,000 worth of new artificial stone sidewalk, 
curb, and brick gutter have been constructed recently. More 
than three miles of sewers ; four miles of city water mains ; 
over 3.000 shade trees, on the various streets. All streets 
lighted by arc and incandescent lights. ]\Iore than 100 resi- 
dences, costing from $2,000 to $25,000 each ; fifteen new 
houses have been built this year, more now under contract; 
over 500 permanent residents; a public school; Wester- 
leigti Collegiate Institute (upward of 300 stu- 
dents) ; .$20,000 in innprovennents added to it 
this year, new recitation rooms, gymnasium, etc. The 
improvements made in the Park tliis year alone 
cost upward of $70,000. These improvements add materially 
to the value of the property. They are permanent, and show 
that the Park is rapidly taking the lead of all other residential 
suburbs of the city. The prices in this special offer are 
greatly reduced, notwithstanding the many improvements that 
have been made. 



S20,000 ADDED THIS YEAR IN IMPROVE- 
MENTS AT THE WESTERLEIGH COL- 
LEGIATE INSTITUTE. IN NEW 
BUILDINGS, ETC, 



NO ASSESSMENTS FOR IMPROVEMENTS. 

The Park Company, at its own expense, grades the streets, 
lays the first sidewalks, constructs the sewers through all prin- 
cipal streets, introduces the city water, plants the shade trees, 
has a corps of men at work constantly mowing the grass, 
cleaning, and in general making the place attractive. You will 
not be assessed for any of these improvements, as is the case 
in nearly all other places in or about New York City. 



SIZE OF LOTS. 

Nearly all these lots are 40 feet wide, a few are 25 feet 
wide. 

^lany lots that are being offered for sale by real estate 
companies in various parts of the city are only 20 feet wide. 
Our forty feet wide lots will make practically two regular city 
lots. 

150,000 VISITORS IN A SINGLE DAY. 

The numerous attractions on Staten Island have caused 
many more thousands of people to visit this island during the 
summer than ever liefore in its history. On Laliur Day 
upward of 150,000 people visited the vari )us summer resorts 
on the Island. The Midland trolley road, that passes Pro- 
hibition Park, carried' 480,000 people during the month of 
July. On September 5th it carried over .;o,ooo people. 

ARE YOU SAVING ANY MONEY? 

If you can buy a lot in Prohiliition Park (Westerleigh ). 
at the low price of $600 and pay for it in monthly payments 
of $6, is there any reason why you should hesitate? Every 
frugal person should save from bis income at least $6 to $10 
a month. Are you doing it? If not, begin now by putting 
that amount in a lot in Prohibition Park (Westerleigh) where 
it will be deposited as tlie safest emd t)est invest- 
ment that you can make. We urge you to place your 
order at once. Remember, ttiese prices are good 
only for tliis offer. It cannot remain open long, as 
the lots will soon l)e taken. Tliis will 1)e the last pul)lic sale. 

Nearly all of the remaining lots will he held as an in= 
vestment and for its own profit by the Park Company. 
Prices will be advanced upward of 50 per cent. 



ALL LOTS CONVENIENT TO TROLLEY 

TROLLEYS DIRECT TO FERRIES AND 

TO THE BEACH. 






A BOOM FOR THE BOROUGH OF RICHMOND 
NEW YORK CITY. 

New York City before January i, 1898, was estimated to 
I)e the most densely populated city in the world. 

New York City is the second largest city in the world and 
increasing in population at the rate of more than 140,000 a 
year. 

In twelve years, at the present rate of increase, a city 
larger than Philadelphia or Chicago will be added to the pres- 
ent New York City. What will be done with this addition of 
nearly 2.000.000 people? Where will they live? Manhattan 
(old New York City) can not accomodate any more.

Park ( Westerleigh ) . 



Prohibition 



Brooklyn can accommodate a very few more within easy- 
reach. The city as far as twenty-three miles northi 
of the City Hall is filing up rapidly. Stateii Island 
ies btit live miles southi of the citj' hall, 

and there is every reason to believe that it must get a large 
proportion of this increase. If this is true, then it requires- 
no prophet to predict the future value of property in this- 
Borough. Prohibition Park (Westerleigh) is the prettiest 
part of this Borough. Population is what gives value

The creation of Greater New York means that IManhattan 
Island is too small for business and residential purposes com- 
bined, and with the additional ferry facilities now being urged 
and the facilities furnished by the electric lines running from 
the ferry through the Park it means that one hundred thous- 
and of the present population of old New York City will re- 
move to and buy homes in the Borough of Richmond. No- 
thing can stop or stay this great city in its march to the mo<t 
beautiful of all its Boroughs. 

BE IN LINE, LOCATE AT PROHIBITION 
PARK (WESTERLEIGH). 

New York City has an area of 230.400 acres ( 360 
square miles) and a population of 3.350.000, and less than one 
family in 36 own their home. New York has a larger propor- 
tionate number of rent payers than any other city in the 
United States. Are you going to continue with tlii> army 
when you can secure a lot in this beautiful place for $400 and 
up, centrally located in this great city, and with only a ten- 
cents fare? Many more are endeavoring to own their b imC' 
now than ever before. 

New 'S'prk' City alone i- richer than any state in the 
Union. Do you wtiiit some of its x\^ealth ? Then 
secure a home or a lot at Prohibition Park (Westerleigh). 

New York is the greatest natural sea-port in the 
world. London and Paris are inland towns, the latter inacces- 
sible to ocean steamers. Do you see the jioint? Become an 
owner of part of New York City and not a renter. 

New York is incomparably the largest manufac- 
turing city in this country, having a billion dollars inve-ted in 
factories which produce annually $100,000,000 worth of pro- 
ducts. Why not locate or buy a lot in its most charming sec-

Facts taken from the New York U'arld. Novemlier 20, uSgS: 

" New York is now the fir.st commercial city of the world. For years 
she has been ahead of all rivals except London. The records for 1898 
when made up will show that within the past few months she has out- 
stripped even the great city on the Thames. Throughout the nine- 
teenth century, and indeed for four centuries before, Londim has pos- 
sessed the proud title of ' The World's Metropolis,' but now the scepter 
and the title must cross the Atlantic, here to remain."

SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE OR O^TN PROP- 
ERTY IN PROHIBITION PARK 
(WESTERLEIGH). 

The mansion, formerly known as the Jewett House, has recently 
been purchased by Mrs. Florence Morse King'slev, author of " Titus," 
etc. The home is one of the prettiest on Staten Island. The situation 
at the crest of Collesre Hill gives a fine view of the Kill Von Kull, with 
the Jersey shore stretching beyond in the distance. 

A stone's throw from Dr. Kingsley's Dr. Carlos Martyn lives, now 
famous for his " Wendell Phillips." Professor Wilber Strong, Principal 
of Westerleigh Collegiate Institute, lives near the college— This is a 
preparatory school of great excellence, sending oiit every year its 
graduates, fully prepared to enter our largest colleges. 

A short walk brings one to the home of Mrs. Ella A. Boole, M. A., Ph. 
D., New York State President of the Woman's Christian Temperance 
Union. Across the street from her, stands the beautiful Deem's Memo- 
rial Chapel where the Immanuel Church of the Park holds its regular 
services witn Dr. Chas. Kingsley as pastor. 

Next to the chapel, Mr. A. M. Harris, banker, of N. W. Harris & Co., 
N. Y. City, has built his pleasant residence. Farther up Jewett avenue 
are Prof. Holmes Merton, scientist and artist; Rev. James C. Fernald, 
Editor of the "Students' Standard" and the " Standard Intermediate 
Dictionaries" and author of "English Synonyms," etc.; John H. Boner 
author, in his "Cricket Lodge " covered with the English Ivy. 

Leaving Jewett Avenue, one finds the residence or the property of 
Robert Scott, Secretary of the National Prohibition Park Co.; Wm. T. 
Wardwell, Treasurer, Standiird Oil Co. ; L. A. Banks, D. D., of 
the Methodist Episcopal Church ; Col. Alexander S. Bacon, Attorney- 
at-Law, New York City iBishop James N. Fitzgerald, D. D., of the M. E.

REAL ESTATE THE SAFEST AND BEST INVEST- 
MENT. 

John F. Doyle, President of the Board of Brokers, New York City, 
says, April 28th, 1899: 

" There are undoubtedly numerous, permanent investments 
being made in real estate in New Yoik City. Large sums of 
money are being made at the present time in Wall street, 
much of which is being invested in real estate as the 
safest and best investment for money. There are many 
reasons for believing that this condition of affairs will continue, 
and that it will extend to all parts of the city. The develop- 
ment of public improvements is a factor which will give impetus 
to the movement. * * * The v\'ords ' Greater New York ' 
.should be dropped. The title ' New York City ' covers not 
alone Manhattan and the Bronx, but Richmond (Staten Isl- 
and), Brooklyn and Queens are with them one great metropo- 
lis, and destined to be the greatest city in the world. 
Richmond Borough (Staten Island) alone could be made an 
imperial city with proper methods adopted to make it so. No 
Island in the world probably presents greater commercial 
and shipping facilities than the Borough of Richmond were 
it developed." 

REAL ESTATE ON A SURE FOOTING. 
Richard V. Harnett. 

President of the Real Estate Exchange, New York City, says in 
New York " Journal," April 9th, 1899. 

" Real Estate investment is to-da}^ being sought by the most 
conservative class — the class that parts with its capital only 
when absolutely safe inve.stment offers. People of large ex- 
perience feel when they have put their money into real es 
tate that they have gotten hold of something that will stand

by them. Real Estate has o:ained the public confidence, 

for it is the one security ihat will always secure what it is act- 
ually worth." 



STATEN ISLAND STANDS PRE-EMINENT AMONG 
THE SUBURBS OF THE METROPOLIS. 

New York Times says, April 25, 1896. 

" Neither consolidation nor the trolley will work wonders 
to Brooklyn comparable with the magical effect these two 
agents of progress and expansion are about to accomplish on 
Staten Island. * -^ - Of all the outlying territory of Great- 
er New York, none will reap such splendid benefits from con- 
solidation as Staten Island; but entirely independent of Con- 
.solidation, this I.sland will .soon stand pre eminent among the 
suburbs of the nietrcjpulis."
